Abstract

Transcatheter aortic valves have been designed to treat elderly patients considered high-risk surgical candidates. Transcatheter aortic valve embolization represents a new complication previously unreported in the surgical bioprosthetic valve literature. We report the case of a 79-year-old male who successfully underwent aortic valve replacement after transcatheter aortic valve dislodgment into left ventricle outflow tract.
